Smelly room
Staff were nice and friendly and breakfast was decent with a convenient location. However the room ruined the experience for me. We booked a standard room. At no moment in time it was said that this could be an underground room. Room was dark, noisy and smelled like bathroom pipes. Not at all the quality expected when we pay as much as we did.

If it weren’t for the two workers at reception I would have left immediately. There was no air conditioning in our room and the windows didn’t open so by the time we left there were two small fans in the room. Sadly I believe the condition of the air got me and my travel partner sick with 5 more days of travel to take. I can’t stress enough how incredible and understanding the staff was but the actually living situation was below average.

Amazing stay!
The room was absolutely stunning. Had a vintage feel but yet so cozy. Everyone was so kind especially the person checking us in. She was so informative and so kind to my family and I. We loved the customer service at this location and will highly recommend to anyone. Perfect location as well. We were in the center of it all!
